n Move over, Woody Allen. With<br />

Frances Ha, writer-director Noah Baumbach<br />

(The Squid and the Whale) and<br />

star-co-writer Greta Gerwig (Damsels in<br />

Distress, To Rome with Love) are laying<br />

claim to the ground Allen once reigned<br />

over: the New York-centric quirky<br />

romantic comedy. Gerwig, whose star<br />

arrival has been long delayed, makes<br />

the strongest bid for screen glory yet as<br />

the titular character, a broke, semi-professional<br />

dancer with a desperate plan<br />

for success. But the daffy and insecure<br />

Frances has a penchant for babbling<br />

her way into corners, especially with<br />

men. And things get worse when her<br />

roommate kicks her out, and temporary<br />

homelessness threatens to dampen her<br />

perennial optimism.<br />
